    Random 'Bogey alerts' for parked vehicles drastically increased in 2024.3.15

    There is one vehicle parked on the side of the road in my neighborhood against the curb on a left curve that always alerts and turns red in the visualization. Since I updated to 3.15, these false alarms have gotten much more frequent and with nothing obvious in common to cause them. Driving on a...

    Question about wheels for M3P 2018

    The short answer is no, not all 18" wheels will clear the caliper, and they also need to accept the unique hub (there is a thread about someone who put wheels on that weren't cut for the hub and it was a nightmare trying to get them off). There are a couple of really good threads on the Driving...

    FSD experience

    Does anyone know how to decrease the following distance on the highway? It used to be a left/right right-scroll wheel adjustment but that doesn't seem to work any longer. It leaves a pretty substantial gap to the vehicle in front in the current iteration.

    Project: Model 3 Race car [project model 3 racecar on the Nuburgring / "The 'Ring"]

    What a great experience to drive with an experienced track coach! Looks like a blast.

    Window Tinting advice needed

    I did 35% all around and 70% on the windshield because the SoCal summer sun can get roasting and it rejects most of the UV. I was hesitant to do the windshield at all, but 70% is still usable at night. I would not go any darker. I didn't get the roof glass tinted as it's pretty dark already, but...

    adizon's M3P build thread

    Nice car history. My dad had a '77 VW Rabbit that I learned to drive stick in, and that was a FUN little box. You definitely know how to take a good pic so looking forward to seeing this one evolve. My M3P only has forged rims and some cosmetics, but definitely planning on some suspension work...

    Model 3 RWD got beat by an Audi turbo

    My 1987 Honda Civic 1.5L I4 fit this profile. Still with a little suspension work and some sticky rubber it was stupid fun to toss around in the hills. :)

    They are still pretty bad IME.

    To DIY or not to DIY? Front Camera Replacement: Fisheye and Narrow Cam Dropped Frames

    I noticed the glass in front of mine is looking pretty grungy. Did you find a tutorial for removing the trim, or just go at it with a set of trim tools?

    Car hit while parked.

    It's always hard to tell from a single photo, but I don't see any bent metal or broken plastic. PDR + paint and a new taillight might get you right for a few $K.

    First road trip coming up

    Unless you're driving 60-65, expect your range to suffer and you'll be charging more often than you thought. This is also affected by temperature and terrain also of course. I did a multi-day trip up and down the west coast and planned to charge every 200-220 miles (rated range 300). Also I...

    Tail Light Retrofit- AMBER turn signal

    Interesting, I'm in a tesla-heavy area of SoCal and only the newest 3s have amber signals. 90% of the Ys do of course. Funny story, I was in the bay area over the holidays and saw an older 3 that had done the amber tail swap but not reprogrammed, so the turn signals came on with the brake lights. ;)

    2023 Model 3 Passenger side rear quarter panel dent

    I had a hard time even seeing the dent, so yeah, I think it's probably a good candidate for PDR.

    Model 3 with FSD on Road Trip

    I subscribed to FSD for a thanksgiving road trip from the L.A. area to Portland/Seattle. It worked fine on the highway, but I did have a few occasions where it wanted to jump to a faster lane in front of fast-approaching traffic, and I had to cancel the lane change with the stalk. I finally set...

    Electric fry sound and screen goes black

    I just had an interesting one. I got in to drive and started playing my phone through bluetooth. It was crackly and staticy and dropping out every ten or so seconds, when I would hear a faint buzz from the rear of the car before the crackly sound came back on. I tried different sources (Spotify...
